So so high

OHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........PASS!!

I didn't get you the first time, and hopefully I can handle you next week, darling.

By the way, Mysterious Skin is brutal y'all. BRUTAL. Even my steel of heart can't handle some of the scenes in the movie.

It's fucking beautiful

Finally got down to watching Ultraviolet and Syriana last night after leaving that stuff to rot in my hard drive since ages ago.

I've never seen the Ultraviolet comics before, but damn, this movie is pure rubbish. The plot holes are bigger than meteor crates and Milla Jovovich looks run down. And I totally hate it when the producers put in a kid in the middle of everything to try to earn some sort of sympathy from us. The only thing I like about the whole movie was the fighting scenes. I'm still confused over the whole storyline like what exactly does the virus does to its infected victims?? And why are there a bunch of vampires running around?? And what is Violet injecting herself with to do all her power-ups, super-human moves?? Bah......major crapfest. I'm not sure if Malaysia is showing it yet, but avoid it at all cost.

I was pissed that I wasted one hour of my life watching the above rubbish, so I retaliate by continue watching George Clooney's Syriana. And fuck, after Munich, this is another brilliant film I've seen in the last month alone. Although a bit confusing at times due to the multi-country hoppings and dozens of different characters linked together, this is a movie that should be watched by everyone. If you are someone who loathed the American oil industry and government policies, then this movie will sure to make your blood boil.

The movie spares no one, from the Americans, the Arabians, the religious fanatics, even the Chinese, who is as oil-hungry as their western counterparts are. The movie doesn't solve any of these problems, just highlighting them in a very surreal way that makes you think, this is just a big, fucking evil cyle that goes on and on to till no end. Politics=oil=terrorism=money.

By the way, George Clooney(the CIA officer, Baer) is fantastic in this. He puts on the pounds, doesn't shaves and walk as if he has a limp. Not one ounce of A-List superstar dust can be found on him in this movie. His Arabic was so fluent you would have thought he can actually speak it in real life. Matt Damon(energy analyst turn economic advisor), Chris Cooper(corrupted corporate oil man), Alexander Siddig(reform-minded Arabic Prince) and the rest of the cast all did a fantastic job. Tom Cruise, eat this. And fuck your MI:3.

Purple guy

As I said a few post before, I'm tired of listening to the same old song over and over again on the radio these days. Thanks to some local and foreign bloggers, I manage to download some gems that I would have never listen to in the first place if not for my music cravings.

Especially Rich at FourFour, for sharing some wicked Prince songs on his blog. Yes, Prince. Yes, that little guy who loves purple. Yes, that guy who is now known as just a silly symbol.

I wasn't familiar with Prince's history, so I shoot an email to the old man to ask whether he knows anything about this whiz. This was the reply I got:

" He has been considered as some sort of modern soul icon. cronies include the tymes, sheila E, apollonia etc. at one time, claimed to represent the minneapolis soul sound. he wrote many massive hits for others too include the botak girl, sheila easton etc. in my opinion, he plays some
mean guitar, produce his own records , write his own hits and sing pretty competently. a near genius....."

Its not news that my dad is an encyclopedia of soul music history. And botak girl?? Nice term for Sinead O'Connor, pa. The song Prince wrote for Sinead was her major hit, Nothing Compares To You.

Speaking of weird collaborations, Whitney Houston's I Will Love You was originally sung by the queen of all queens, Dolly Parton. I didn't know that until the old man told me that. Quite shocking, to be honest.

Ovah-rated

This one of the reason why I have never, EVER, liked this bitch before.

Even when she was still starring in that crappy comedy series that just wouldn't die, even when she was still with Mr. Angelina Jolie(hehehehehehe), even when she made that stupid hair style famous.

When she was on some fashion magazine and Oprah this month, she kept on insisting that we let this whole thing go and stop pitying her. Well bitch, I for first ain't pitying you and I just wish that you could just stop appearing in tabloids. How are we suppose to let this whole fucking thing go when you were the one who kept on talking about it?

Jen, hello, you were never a good actress in the first place, you overrated hoe. You've made your millions so just fuck off to some island and build your castle there. Maybe you should bring Oprah with you too. And call it Delusion Palace.

NANDE KORE???

Can somebody tell me what exactly is this thing about???: Mamoru Oshii's Tachiguishi Retsuden Trailer

Soba noodles, fast-food style burgers and a gun-toting sifu-looking guy.

I almost spit out the rice I was having when the trailer started rolling.

Are the japs high on crack 24/7???

Mamoru Oshii, because of this, I will forgive you for that dumpshit of a movie that is GITS:Innocence. 'kay?

And to all fans of Japanese movies, check out www.ryuganji.net/news. They have the English translation of Takashi Miike's blog up there. Fun reading. And I love how he(translator??) uses the word, "poppycock". Great stuff

Sepuluh ringgit mana cukup???

I went to the petrol station to fill up my car yesterday for the first time since the fuel price increase a few weeks back. It now cost me RM54 just for filling up my Kelisa's tank.

Can you say machaohai x 100 times?

I really wanted to be pissed off when I was there, but there was this nice malay lady who is attending to my car and we got to talking when she was refilling it for me.

So she sort of calm my angry nerves with her humor and I drove away without feeling the need to step on my gas pedal harder or trying to overtake every freaking idiot who hogs the road as if his dad owns it. Even though I didn't really bought her Bonuslink story.

I need a new handphone. But I need some funds first. I really need to get down to counting exactly how much I received in ang pau money during the CNY period. I think the old man gave me quite a nice sum. Need to check first.

I really dig that ancient Motorola Razr in Pink, but the price is damn chibai. The Nokia L'amour(spelling??) looks good, but at its current retail price and feature-wise, it sucks. And why in fuck am I buying such expensive handphones when there's hardly anyone who calls? And I don't give a shit whether if it has some fancy high-tech specs like a laser knife-cutter or can double up as a stun-gun or is coated in 18k gold , cause I'm just buying a bloody handphone!!

Rolling off to check my bitching BitComet downloads, which is currently downloading Capote, Syriana and The Constant Gardener. Yawn. I managed to snag Mysterious Skin and huh, Ultraviolet(just because it has that hot bitch who doesn't know how to act, but I like her cause she's a hot bitch Milla Jovovich).

Saw Underworld 2 last week, major yawnfest. I didn't watch the first one, but I don't think its anywhere better than the sequel. Kate Beckinsale was cool, and I even like the bad guys, the only guy I had problem with was the leading man(the half-werewolf,half-vampire,human hybrid dude). From the moment he appeared onscreen, he annoyed me to no end for no apparent reasons other than acting like a big-hairy pussy and looking too much like that asshole from Creed.

Ah, yes, rolling off. Off I go now.

NANI???!!!

Currently emo-ing on a slow, lazy, hot afternoon in the office while listening to one of Faye Wong's classic "I'm happy because you're happy" or "You're happy so I'm happy" or whatever shit translation you prefer.

I'm so sick and tired of the songs they played on radio nowadays that I have to resort to downloading cheesy Mandarin pop songs to soothe my irritated soul. I'm also damn irritated because the CD I really wanted to buy cost like a hundred bucks.

Diu, why is our money so fucking cheap and worthless?

A CD in Japan usually cost around 3000-5000 yen(which I presume), that will come to about RM95-RM160 based on the latest exchange rates.

Yes, just for a CD. And no, I didn't put in the wrong figures.

Mahai, another pesky ass customer. Jesus fucking donkey ass son of a baboon, it's only less than 2 bucks!!! Our company is not trashy enough to conned your 2 ringgit okay??

Great. Great fucking way to leap through the emo-ing phase and ram straight away into pissed-off mode. I need to go watch some doped-up movie to calm down right now. Boss' out.

DLs

Ohmagawd.....my brain is suffering from information overload toady. I have like, three different downloading softwares going on right now, cramming even more useless shit into my already stuffed PC.

From movies, to animes, to porn, to mangas, you name it, I'm downloading it. I discovered this wonderful thing call Clubbox last week and diu, its some fucking god-send program.

Basically you sign up for an account, and they allocate 10gb of free space for it. You can upload shit onto there and earn some sort of coupons or points thingy(I haven't figured that part out yet as I'm too busy looking for more stupid stuff to download.) I'm not sure whether they set up a limit for downloading too, but hell, who gives a flying fuck when I'm in heaven now as I got to download things I never got the chance to download in the first place.

The only downside is that the whole program is in Korean and I have a hard time getting used to finding the right download button. My BitComet is also running on full steam with all the download slots taken up by movies and animes. But I'm not too happy, ok, fucking pissed when I spend the whole day seeding for other people and I don't get the favour in return.

Mahai bitches, you think I seed for fun???!!!

Need to check out more downloads, chiao.

Pimp my ride

Forbes came out with their annual richest dudes in the whole universe list today so I went to the website to check it out. I was extremely amused and baffled at the same time when I saw this little feature on their site: Vehicles owned by the Top 10 Billionaires

Ingvar Kamprad, owner and founder of IKEA, has a net worth of several bazilion dollars, but he drives a 13 year-old Volvo. You must be fucking kidding me. A 13 year-old Volvo? I know he's Swedish and all that, but can't he afford to buy a newer Volvo? Hell, he can buy up the whole company if he likes it so much. Oh yeah, he takes the bus, flies economy, stays in normal hotels, and uses his pensioner's discount card too. He even rides his bike(as in old man's bicycle) to the local grocery store to get his daily supplies.

This is too much. I cannot tolerate such a wasted non-usage of massive funds in bank accounts, considering he's the fourth richest man in the galaxy, just behind the ruler of all monopolized operating system, an ancient banker and a Saudi Prince. Damn it, just go buy a football team or something. Spend it like the Abramovich!

The other billionaire who baffles me is one of the heirs to the Wal-Mart empire, Jim Walton. Like most of the people who shops there, he drives a 2002 Dodge pick-up. Pick-up always gives me the impression of a red-neck vehicle, even though my dad drives one. I just dont't......dig pick-ups. But its cool cause you're able to ram some idiot's stupid ass off the road if they try anything funny. Anyway, yeah, it may suit the Wal-Mart image but definately not included in any glamourous or luxurious list.

Hmmm...my friend hasn't get back to me yet on whether we're going out tommorrow or not. Leaving the office now, bye.

Evil

Machaohai!!! Streamyx is bloody fucked up this morning!!!

I can't seem to open a simple mail attachment without clicking the refresh button several times.

May be going on a shopping spree this Saturday again with a friend. I feel like swiping my blinding new card for every pair of shoes or every bag I like.

And suffer the consequences of a heart attack and crying like a bitch when a I get the bill at the end of the month.

Yes, I'm paying for my OWN credit card bills starting this month. The old man is cutting me off slowly and painfully. Its not a coincidence that I have "Killing me softly" in my head everytime I think of this.

To make matters somehow complicated, Mom decided suddenly that she will upgrade her card to a platinum. Thus, my credit limit has been increased in two folds suddenly.

Sure way for me to bust that card, Ma!!!

When you don't have to pay for the bills, its good news. Cause hello, gold--->platinum= credit limit increase by 281928721891287312%

When you have to pay for the bills YOURSELF at the end of the month, its armageddon.

Let me have a moment of silence and weep for my bank account balance.

And the winner is.......

What is THAT thing on Charlize Theron's shoulder, people??? According to the talks, its a remote-controlled rocket launcher. She looks stoned all night.

Normally I love Vera Wang, but this time her dress for Michelle Williams is just plain hideous. Where in hell did that shit-yellow thing came from?? Michelle Williams is quite a cute chick, but this dress is beyond the bar-fugly level.

Vera Wang gets the poo-poo this year for that yellow dress and Keira Knightley's purple gown. I love the purple color, but the design and material just looks harsh to me. This year I got to give it to Versace though, Uma Thurman's and Salma Hayek's gown was crazy hot. Bitches were basically glowing all night.

Enough of the Oscars, I'm so over it since lightyears ago. Was kind of surprised when the old man told me he was thinking about getting a Toyota coupe.

Uhm, didn't they just increase the petrol price by 30 cents?? What gives? Mid-life crisis??

Sill pondering on this weird decision.

Give me a fagging break

Well, well, I sure didn't know about this until today, even though the news came out(pun!!)last August.

I was never a Westlife fan, but they weren't irritating enough to be hated. I guess the British are more open to the fact that popstars are just normal people like us and being gay is no exeptional.

But across the pond, things seems to work differently. Lately the whole gay fiasco about American Idol singer Clay Aiken just looks so stupid compare to their British counterparts. So yeah, he's gay(rumored), he's single, he was lonely and wanted a fuck, so he throll online trying to find a guy.

BOOM!! GAY SCANDAL!!!

WTF. Bitches, chill the fuck out!!!

I don't understand why is the media and his idiotic, god-fearing bitches making such a big fucking fuss about it. I don't dig him or his singing, but come on, give him a break already. If you bought his album because you think he was holy and now you accused him of conning you into buying his album because uh, he likes dicks, then maybe you should be that dude up there yourself.

What about the Boyzone and Westlife fans?? Should their fans burn every Boyzone or Westlife CDs, merchandise they ever own just because one of them don't dig boobies??

Damn, if Sir Elton John can have a magnificant wedding, oh sorry, CIVIL UNION with his long-time partner and George Michael can walk down the street holding hands with his boyfriend, why can't Clay Aiken suck dick and take one up his ass??

Just like what good ole' Marvin Gaye sang, "But who are they to judge us simply cause our hair is long...."
